It's people. The tortillas are made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!posted by sebastienbailard at 10:44 PM on April 29, 2014 [2 favorites]

If you want really thin hamster you gotta freeze it first and let it thaw a bit before slicing. Note: I like hamsters and gerbils but they both traumatized me a couple decades ago. Dioramas of Carnage all the wayposted by aydeejones at 11:17 PM on April 29, 2014

Technically they're not eating, they're hoarding. Hams are pathological hoarders that would easily make it onto daytime TV if they were humans.

When I had a ham, I pretty much never saw him actually eat anything. But regularly he would hoard so much food around him in his little sleeping hut that the whole thing would rise upwards and eventually topple over.posted by colie at 12:32 AM on April 30, 2014 [5 favorites]

Does what it says on the tin

No it doesn't.

a. I only counted one hamster. Different camera angles. Different burritos. But same hamster.

b. What colie just said. It didn't really eat the burritos, just stuffed them into his/her jowls for later, more private, consumption.

Huh... weird complaints... Apparently people would like seeing "Tiny Hamsters Force-fed Tiny Burritos", or gavée hamster avec petit burrito for those who prefer the more continental term....posted by Nanukthedog at 4:47 AM on April 30, 2014 [2 favorites]

I think a tiny bottle of Negra Modelo would have been nice. Hamster does not live on burritos alone, after all.posted by GenjiandProust at 5:30 AM on April 30, 2014 [4 favorites]

The apex of human achievement has been reached. We have made special tiny burritos just for hamsters.posted by Kitteh at 5:41 AM on April 30, 2014 [3 favorites]

Also, these "burritos" were obviously inferior and shouldn't really be called burritos at all. At least, not by any decent moral human being. They might qualify as being one of those horrible wrap things you can buy at airports when you're sad and desperate and just wish the goddamn plane would arrive so you didn't have to hear the same goddamn sportsbar chatter for another nine hours. Nine hours! It takes less time to build an entirely new plane!

But back to the burritos, they weren't gently seared on the grill so they'd develop just the right level of crisp. That's just the beginning! Oh god, the errors compound themselves! Just thinking about that sort of raw-tortilla atrocity makes a person want to weep. It's errors all the way down.

I am so very angry now. Angry that this video exists and will lead people astray about the true nature of burritos.posted by aramaic at 6:07 AM on April 30, 2014 [7 favorites]

I want to open a cafe where we all eat burritos with hamsters. That would be good, right?posted by Ruthless Bunny at 7:20 AM on April 30, 2014

I'm sick of all the burrito prescriptivism going on in this thread.

I say you have to think about the consumer. Hamsters don't like sear. And they get plent of crisp from pellets.posted by GenjiandProust at 7:32 AM on April 30, 2014

Living in the sticks as I do, I rarely have access to good burritos. When I do manage to get my hands on one, this is pretty much exactly how I eat it.posted by usonian at 8:17 AM on April 30, 2014 [2 favorites]

Oh, sure, until the rats get wise and start wearing tiny disguises.posted by turbid dahlia at 7:00 PM on April 30, 2014

They might also be good tiny burritos for big humans. It's cooked ingredients wrapped in a gyoza wrapper. Steam, panfry, or deep fry that sucker, and then magic happens. I think they'd be especially cute in a tortilla soup.
